Fender Rumble LT25 – 25-Watt Combo Bass Amplifier

The Fender Rumble LT25 expands on the success of the Rumble series by adding Digital Sound Processing (DSP) to the amp. It expands the already good bass amps of the Fender Rumble line with a versatile bass combo amp. It gives you a lot of good tones in a single amp. You can choose between 15 amp types, 20 effects, and 50 preset sounds, 30 of which are customizable.

The amp section is rated at 25 watts, with a straightforward single channel design that features gain, volume, and 3-band Bass EQ controls.

It drives an 8″ speaker and is housed in a 5/8″ wooden cabinet with vintage-style textured vinyl covering. Other notable features include having a built-in tuner and USB recording.

What sets it apart in this price range are its amp modeling and DSP features. You can get a wide range of tones out of it. This makes it a good amp for practicing different styles of music. It’s a bit like having several different flavors of bass amps in one handy combo unit.

Even though it’s only 25 watts, it’s reasonably loud, and I could see it being used with quiet acoustic acts at something like a cafe gig. But don’t drive it too hard because some of the models sound muddy at full volume, and slap playing lacks that high-end thwack. This is primarily a limitation of the 8″ speaker.

When practicing with headphones, however, when you don’t need to drive it hard, the amp models come to life, making practice a pleasure.

With the flexibility brought about by its built-in DSP, the Fender Rumble LT25 is a good beginner-friendly amp that can still meet the needs of students as they improve their playing.
